N-acetylcysteine inhibits germination of conidia and growth of Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp

Abstract

N-Acetylcysteine inhibited hyphal growth and germination of conidia of Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. N-Acetyleysteine inhibited conidial germination as well as or better than L-cysteine. Cysteine-related compounds may provide a potential therapeutic strategy against agriculturally and medically important fungal pathogens.
